yes, but as soon as it runs out of food to convert your body will begin to run purely off of your muscle and fat.

I'm talking over the course of months to years, not just right now. Say he ate one meal a day for two years and lost all the weight down to, say, 200 lbs. As soon as he started to eat "normally" again, his body would be so used to just one meal that all the food he ate would be converted directly to fat and stored.

werd to yo mother

your metabolism slows down, because your body goes into starvation mode - meaning it's trying to conserve whatever resources it has (FAT).

those small meals spur your metabolism because it's constantly being triggered.

From will's post: http://www.wftv.com/news/3643877/detail.html

"Detectives are investigating whether they have a case of neglect, or if it is simply a very sad story."

Omg. This is too funny to be real. But is it real? OMG. It's simply too awkwardly sad. She got stucked to the couch for 2 to 5 years.
